What is PGT? In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm sharing all about Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT).
PGT is a revolutionary test we can use as part of IVF, and it analyzes the genetic makeup of embryos before implantation. This screening helps patients identify genetic abnormalities in embryos, ensuring that only embryos with the correct number of chromosomes and no detectable genetic issues are selected for transfer. PGT can be particularly beneficial for couples with a known history of genetic disorders, recurrent miscarriages, or those undergoing IVF treatment who want to increase their chances for a successful, healthy pregnancy. By testing embryos at this critical early stage, PGT offers hopeful parents a snapshot of their embryos' potential health and viability. While no test is 100% infallible, PGT is a helpful tool.
